Review in detail
Compilatio SAS is a French company with a share capital of EUR 234,400, registered in Annecy under number 512 216 847, with its seat at 47 rue Cassiopée in Chavanod. The legal notice names the president of Compilatio SAS as the holding company SEPIIDAE EURL.
Compilatio sells three products: Magister for teachers, Studium for students and Gingo for creating and following up assessments. The site is available in French, English, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
What Compilatio detects
Compilatio lists three detectors: a plagiarism detector, an AI detector and a detector of altered texts. Compilatio sells the first two as a combined check for educators in Magister.
Compilatio Studium gives students the same kind of check before they submit. Gingo covers assessment creation, grading and tracking student progress.
Compilatio legal entity and hosting
The legal notice names Compilatio SAS as publisher of the site. The general terms may refer to COMPILATIO SRL, an Italian company in Turin, as the contracting party.
The GDPR page says data is hosted and protected in Europe, and the legal notice names OVH SAS in Roubaix. The page does not name a data centre city for customer documents.
Compilatio compared with Turnitin
Compilatio matches Turnitin on the basics: similarity detection, AI detection, LMS integration, API and SSO. Compilatio adds training modules and a time-log support option.
Turnitin lists research and exam products that Compilatio does not offer under the same roof. Compilatio publishes no prices on the pages we read.
Where it falls short
Compilatio publishes no prices on the pages we read, so budgeting needs a sales contact. Compilatio's own figures (over 2 million users, over 60 countries) are self-reported and we could not verify them. The Italian entity named in the terms adds a second contracting party to check. See PlagAware if public page prices matter more.
Best suited to users of Compilatio
French, Belgian, Swiss and Italian schools and universities that want a plagiarism and AI check with LMS integration under EU contracts.
